Data Profile Series

The Data Profiles series envisions fragments from an imagined fictional data archive, - recognising that where there are 21st century equivalents of nineteenth century categorisations and taxonomies of the human psyche, they exist in virtual or invisible numerical form, in code, online, in data form, in files, in databases, data warehouses on globally distributed networked servers.

The series aims to give visual form to these coded encryptions of personal data, creating data profiles or data portraits using photography and digital imaging, to create geometric mathematically generated 3D data portraits or 'profiles'. The notion of the profile is used to bring together portraiture, genetic profiling, criminal profiling, and consumer profiling, and related privacy issues.
